The long silence was broken by a sudden male voice: "What's wrong? You look lost and unhappy here all by yourself. Is everything okay?" Yang Xu walked over in a well-fitted suit, looking at An Ran with caring eyes.
An Ran looked up at Yang Xu and quickly concealed the disgust in her eyes. She replied calmly, "Whether I'm in a good mood or not seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Yang. This is the backstage area for work, and outsiders are not allowed in. Why are you here?"
Her ex-boyfriend, whom she had been with for several years, was standing in front of her. He spoke with the same elegant and composed manner as before, seemingly unchanged from the past. Only An Ran, who had experienced it all, knew that he was a complete hypocrite.
"I now run a modeling agency and was invited here today. I just happened to see you looking down," Yang Xu paused, and his concern was perfectly expressed, "Have you encountered any problems at work? If you need help, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to help."
An Ran no longer had the same attitude of flattery towards him as before. Without hesitation, she replied coldly, "No need."
Yang Xu was embarrassed by the rejection and then smiled bitterly, "About what happened before... I misunderstood you, but I was also misled. An Ran, can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"
His voice was low, and his words were sincere.
An Ran felt like she was about to believe this hypocrite. Unfortunately, the lesson from last time was too deeply ingrained in her memory. How could she forgive Yang Xu with just a few words?
Your concern should be directed towards An Yuchun," An Ran said as she turned to leave. She couldn't stand being with him any longer, or she would feel sick.
In a moment of desperation, Yang Xu grabbed her arm and pleaded, "Please don't treat me like this. Give me a chance! I can explain everything that happened before. An Ran, eventhough we... we've already broken up, I still hope that we can clear up the misunderstandings between us!"
An Ran pushed him away and asked him with a sarcastic smile, "Yang Xu, do you think that I still have feelings for you?"
Yang Xu remained silent for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "I never dared to think that way, but we had a relationship for several years. Even if we have to end it, I hope we can end it on a good note and not let regrets ruin it."
An Ran closed her eyes, hiding her sadness, and walked away without looking back.
Yang Xu shouted after her, "I'll be waiting for you at the Fair Witch Cafe after the car show! I'll explain everything about the past to you!"
An Ran's footsteps did not stop for even half a second.
An yuchun walked out from behind the door and saw the affectionate look in Yang Xu's eyes towards An Ran's back. She felt sour in her heart and thought, "Don't bother looking! She hasn't even turned back. Who are you trying to show your affection to?"
After a pause, An yuchun couldn't help but sarcastically say, "I think An Ran is a promiscuous woman. She's already married to Fu Lengyu, yet she still dares to have private contact with her ex-boyfriend like you!"Yang Xu was startled by these words and looked around before speaking.
His tone was completely different from the affectionate one earlier, "Enough! If An Ran doesn't want to have contact with me, how can we proceed with our plan? If you want to be jealous, at least choose the right time and place!"
An Nanchun was angry but ultimately gave in and said, "Okay, okay! Let's stick to the original plan."
An yuchun looked innocent and charming, and when she lowered herself, she had a unique charm. Yang Xu couldn't stay angry and they kissed for a while before leaving.
An Ran was upset and noticed the two models that An yuchun was in charge of the car show. They were being criticized by others for their exaggerated styling that didn't match the Maston Ding Flame sports car at all. She felt embarrassed.
The mocking laughter made the two models regret their actions. An Ran felt that there was no need to continue watching and walked towards the exit of the car exhibition alone. As she walked out of the revolving door, she heard a heated argument not far from the entrance. Specifically, it was a woman's hysterical shouting.
"Yang Xu! Don't you dare push all the blame onto me!"
The woman who was shouting and didn't care about her image was An Yuchun! When she heard the mention of the past, An Ran couldn't help but stop in her tracks."If it weren't for you deliberately misleading me, how could I have misunderstood An Ran? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have broken up!"
"Hahaha, you want to regret it now and try to get back with An Ran? Let me tell you, Yang Xu, that's impossible! I deliberately told An Ran that you knew and approved of everything you did to me! Even if you regret it now, An Ran will never forgive you!"
An Ran remained silent nearby, watching everything. Were the things they said true? An Ran thought carefully and felt lost for a moment. She didn't know who to believe.
"You bitch, how can you be so vicious! I had no idea about your scheming!"
They continued to argue, and An Yuchun noticed An Ran's presence. Her delicate and beautiful face turned somewhat fierce when she saw An Ran: "An Ran? What are you doing here? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"
An Ran remained silent and just watched the two of them. She didn't say a word and turned to leave. No matter what happened in the past, it was all over now.
However, Yang Xu didn't think so. He repeatedly tried to make plans with An Ran, even though she had blocked his number and ignored him. Yang Xu could always send her messages and call her.
The phone rang again, and An Ran looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen. She could almost guess that it wasYang Xu calling.
For the past few days, Yang Xu seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, always wanting to explain what happened before. An Ran didn't know what he was up to, but if this continued, being harassed all day would seriously affect her work state!
After some thought, she was about to press the hang-up button, but changed her mind and answered the call: "Hello..."
Yang Xu's surprised voice came from the phone, "An Ran, you finally answered my call!"
